DESCRIPTION:
FOR TWO SHARED MARIMBAS AND VIBRAPHONE (5 players)
by Christos Rafalides
(midi sample)

This composition is characterized by lyrical melodies and challenging rhythmic modulations. It starts off with an easy going ‘4 on the floor’ vamp that evolves with the use of polyrhythm that leads to a 3/8 section. Straight eight feel over all along with an easy solo section for improvisers. Intermediate level, great for college ensembles.

I composed this piece in 2013 through a commission from Zeltsman Marimba Festival (ZMF)
